Customer Ratings & Reviews

The pixel watch is basically a fancy fitbit. I doesn't have the best watch faces either and downloading new ones is odd because of the fact Samsung watches are more popular, so I alot of the watch faces only work on Samsung watches. We that said I love this watch because it's basic and simple to use. It's extremely lightweight and it's not thick and chunky like the large Samsung Ultra or Apple watch ultra. Battery life is easy 3 days. The charge speed is amazing. It will charge from about 10% to 100% in about 30 minutes. I charge mine while seating at my desk and when I'm ready to move to the next task it's ready to go. I sleep with it also. Not a huge fan of the sleep tracking. Definitely needs some updates in the department.

Finally, Google gave us a larger size, which looks much better on most 7"inch and up wrists vs the 41mm.I upgraded from a PW 2, which was obviously the smaller 41mm version. If you have used a Pixel watch 1 or 2, this is basically identical, but 45mm. The 3 even has the same Snapdragon processor, which isn't a bad thing, but it would be nice if Google used the One Plus watch's dual power scheme, but I'm sure they had a good reason to stay with the Pixel Watch 2 processor. It's plenty speedy, moving through the menus with no lag, and the OS is smooth as you'd expect. The brightness is impressive, and I have no issues using it in the sun, at all. The Pixel Watch 2 was pretty bright, but when compared with the 3, the 3 is brighter and easy to see even under direct sunlight. Really appreciated screen upgrade, Google. The OS is smooth and beautifully done, as is the 45mm size, although I would prefer a 47mm or even 51mm.I bought the black titanium band from the Google Store..it's very of high quality but is very expensive; it is a solid band option, however. I'm sure Google will stick with the 45mm for a few years as people expand their band collection. With the (Pixel) Android smoothness, the entire package really is great. The device feels (and is) fragile, and scratches under the most basic of scenarios, whereas a sapphire crystal simply does not. Hopefully the PW 4 is even larger and with a sapphire face. I just updated to a Nest thermostat and it looks just like the PW 3, which is to say, a beautiful design. However, this is a review for the PW 3, and I recognize what Google's long-term strategy looks and feels like...which is only achievable via their Pixel line. It's come a long way from the Samsung Nexus line, which featured "pure Google" Android, or AOSP. The Pixel OS is just that and doesn't have a bunch of duplicate and redundant apps versus the Google ones. That's the real benefit of the Pixel ecosystem, which I prefer over Samsung's lineup. You really can't go wrong with the Pixel Watch 3 45mm size, which I'd argue looks great on women as well.. is then where the "how long is a piece of string?" debate begins; it's a subjective personal preference. It's just as smooth and convenient to use as the Samsung, or Apple's watch. It's a solid product that I can easily recommend to anyone, except maybe outdoor enthusiasts or people in rugged outdoor environments.

With the side by side release of the Pixel 3 along with the Pixel 9, Google has made a strong bid to increase their market share in the highly competitive cell phone field. First and foremost, the new Actua display is stunning. The near bezel free design offers a generous screen, and it's crisp, clear, and more importantly, highly visible even in bright daylight. The Pixel 3 is loaded with functionality; duplicating near all phone functions on your wrist. Make a call with a few touches, both the speaker & microphone quality are excellent. Photo functions can be controlled remotely with updated camera app (only available with Pixel Phone). Nest & Google Home control are also included. The setup function was quick & easy. Press the crown for 5 seconds to turn on and fast pair initiates. Allow permissions on your phone and you're up & running. I initially thought I'd be overwhelmed with the functionality included in the P3, Google has done a great job designing the screen controls. Swiping up/down side to side brings you to clear menus. I found the navigation to be quite intuitive. The obvious draw for many will be the included Fitbit subscription.Build a custom run, get real time guidance. see progress on a dashboard (including map), post run analysis, cardio load, and a plethora of auxiliary functions, all personally customized. I found battery life to be quite good, for the first couple of days I used the "always on" screen mode; this can be modified with various battery save modes, including a wrist flick to turn on the screen. Battery charge time is 90 minutes from zero to full. I do use a charging stand for my phone, I would like to get one that includes a space for the watch as well. I see some on the market that claim they handle the P3, but given my experience with off brand charging equipment, I'd like to see Google offer an option other than the included magnetic USB C powered clip. If you're a Pixel owner, the P3 is an outstanding companion for your phone. Day by day, as I become familiar with all the included functions, I find myself handling my phone a lot less when much of it has become available with a flick of my wrist.

I switched from Apple watch series 7 to pixel watch 3 mm and I'm very impressed. The build quality is almost identical to apple watch. I am surprised that many of the menus and sequence of operations are almost identical. The watch itself is more customizable than ape watch specially for workouts. I do like it better for tracking my workouts. I wish the Fitbit app would easily show the active calories burnt. Maybe it's hidden somewhere. The battery lasts me 1.5 days which is great. The only thing I don't like about pixel watch 3 is the crown. It's sticks out too much and presses on my wrist. A few times it called 911 on accident. It also feels cheap when it's pressed.

Excellent battery life, great screen and charges fast. It'd be great if school ID's could be added to it but that's more a Transact and Wear OS issue overall.

Boy do I love this watch. Compared to Samsung 7 and especially the Ultra it has phenomenal battery life. Almost 2 days. It is pretty plain and I hate the band connection process but hopefully it will get easier, and I don't do it often. It does pretty much everything Samsung can do BUT really need a FitBit account to do more workout tracking. The other pain is you can't have two watches linked at the same time. They also charge VERY fast.

Upgraded to this from the smaller OG Pixel watch. Size difference isn't that noticable as far as fit goes but you can definitely tell it's an increase in screen real estate and battery life. Can easily last 48 hours depending on usage. Charges from 0-100% in less than an hour. Could have a better chip set in the watch but it's a major step in the right direction.

As a big fan of the Pixel line of phones, I think it’s time to give their smartwatch a try. It will be difficult to review since I have tried a certain South Korean competitor’s watch. Plus, I have liked the hardware design and form factor from them so I may have some bias. The Watch 3 sees a new welcome change in that it is no longer limited to one size. A 45mm watch allows for a bigger battery which will translate to longer usage time. However, at most I can get about 1.5 days of use before needing to do a short and quick charge to last the rest of the day. There may be ways to make it last for two whole days but I have yet to figure it out. The hardware design for the Watch 3 remains the same as the previous generation – featuring rounded edges throughout. But I found two drawbacks in keeping this design. First is that the watch bands are proprietary. And since the 45mm size is a new addition, finding compatible bands will be tricky at first. In all honesty, I do like the mechanism for replacing the bands. But because they are proprietary and non-standard, it limits what bands we can use. I felt that Google should have included an adapter so we can use common watch bands. It will definitely save us a lot of trouble in finding the right band that suits our aesthetic tastes. The second drawback is the rounded glass top. I always want to protect the screens of any device that is made of glass. And so due to how the glass top isn’t flat from edge to edge, it means there are no tempered glass screen protectors for the watch. And that’s a bit of a bummer. I have tried TPU film protectors before on other devices. And they felt terrible for me. Since then, I have never gone back. The software experience is very different from what I have used before. And it is taking some time to get used to that. Bringing up the app drawer is done using the crown button. Swiping up from the bottom shows the watch notification. And swiping in either left or right cycles through your tiles. With Fitbit integrated with the Watch 3, many health tracking features are tied with it. But it does not have to stay within it due to Google’s Health Connect that allows for health data to synchronize across different health app platforms. In addition to heart rate monitoring, there’s also ECG measurement to check for any abnormal heart rate. However, the methodology for that is not very intuitive. The on-screen prompt tells me to lightly touch the crown to begin its measurement but it never did anything. And I have tried repeatedly on and off during work hours to get this working. Only after I finally got home and had some spare time did I manage to get it to work. There needs to be a better way to do this process and I’m shocked that Google didn’t figure that out yet. Why not just turn it into a more hands-free approach with a countdown timer? Overall, I have mixed feelings about the Pixel Watch 3. The larger size is welcome but the hardware design of being so rounded and curved is a drawback to me. The proprietary watch band design means you’re spending extra just to get a band that either uses that connection design or an adapter for traditional bands. The integration of Fitbit means those who are already using that platform can easily start using the watch without much hassle. But how well the Watch 3 and Fitbit handle on non-Google phones is outside of what I can test on. Verdict: unless you’re a Fitbit user, pass The Good: Wear OS as envisioned by Google, tight Fitbit integration The Bad: ECG is cumbersome to figure out, proprietary band design, rounded glass top The Ugly: Fumbling to get the charger to correctly align with the watch

I have been pleasantly surprised with the Pixel Watch 3 45mm. The big screen is bright and easy to read, and the software is smooth and responsive. I can go 2 full days on a single battery charge, and it only takes about an hour to charge from almost empty. Also, the Pixel Watch 3 has been rated in the top of its class for its health and fitness tracking capabilities.

Google really knocked this watch out of the park, honestly. Hard to find faults here, as it has everything you'd need: Bright screen, awesome battery life, lightning fast charging, insanely accurate and helpful health metrics, seamless pixel integration and a premium fit and look.

Pixel Watch 3 45mm smartwatch is the perfect match for your Pixel Phone however, it is also a great companion with other Android phones. I paired the Pixel Watch 3 with my Pixel 9 Pro XL and Samsung S24 Ultra. The box includes SmartWatch, charger, 3 wrist straps and setup guide. The setup was straightforward with both phones. Updating apps on your phone is necessary, and then you are prompted to update apps on the Pixel Watch. I had no issues installing apps on either phone. Very clear and crisp watch display. There are plenty of watch faces to choose. The sound quality of the calls from the phone are clear-the recipient of the phone call could not tell that I was speaking on the smartwatch. Like the Pixel 9Pro XL, this smartwatch is equipped with Emergency SOS and Fall Alert. If you happen to be somewhere without cell service Emergency SOS can be activated with Pixel Watch 3. Fall Alert activates if you happen to have a hard fall. Being a Senior, this is very important to me. A 6 month trial of Fitbit Premium is included with the Pixel Watch 3. It was simple to setup. I have the Fitbit app already installed on my phones which transfered to the Pixel during setup. When I opened the app I simply removed my Fitbit Inspire and replaced it with the Pixel Watch 3. All previous data was transfered. Fitbit Premium is AI generated, you can plan your daily workouts and get health information like sleep and stress scores or your heartrate. Fitbit Premium monitors my sleep and also informed me how many breaths that I missed. (sleep apnea) The phone battery last a little over 24hrs. Overall this watch has so many features that will work with any Android phone. Highly recommend.

After my 3 days wearing the PW3 I'm absolutely in love. On my first full charging cycle I squeezed out exactly 36 hours. That was with AOD turned on, lift to wake, and pretty heavy amount of notifications and responding to texts with voice. The fit and feel of the watch is super great, almost completely unnoticeable compared to my old Galaxy Watch 4. The display is beautiful, but can be a bit fragile compared to other watches that use sapphire glass. The speaker could honestly use improvment for call audio, but I'm never going to use it for anything other than an alarm. And Wear OS feels smooth and snappy, the haptics, especially when rotating the crown feel so satisfying. Don't really use much of the exercise tracking, the continuous heart rate was pretty much spot on with my pulse reader. If you have an Android phone this is totally the watch to get.

I bought the new Pixel Watch 3 to replace a Galaxy Watch 4. Pixel has a brighter screen, is lightweight, has a longer battery life, and is super easy to connect with Android devices.

The Google Pixel Watch 2 is a sleek and powerful smartwatch with seamless Google integration, accurate fitness tracking, and impressive battery life. It’s perfect for daily use, offering quick access to notifications and personalized insights. Highly recommended for a premium smartwatch experience!

I have worn mechanical watches for a long time and resisted smart watches. However, this watch has changed my mind. I have a Google Pixel phone and the watch and phone work seamlessly together. The ease of use and nice functions (i.e. fitbit, calendar, etc.) are great. The only critique is the watch band included. It's not very comfortable and doesn't breathe very well. I purchased another band which has made it very enjoyable to wear.

Battery life is much better compared to my previous Galaxy watch. It's lighter too. I also like how the band latches compared to the usual metal thing that somehow pokes you when you least expect it.

I love the larger screen and snappier response time. The remote camera app works well and I have no complaints so far!

Design The Pixel Watch 3 retains the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of its predecessor, featuring a circular design with a bright, vibrant AMOLED display. The watch is comfortable to wear and comes in various color options, catering to different styles. Performance Powered by a more efficient chipset, the Pixel Watch 3 delivers smooth performance with faster app loading times. Navigation through the interface feels fluid, and most users report no significant lag. Health and Fitness Features Google has expanded its health tracking capabilities, adding more advanced metrics like blood oxygen levels and improved sleep tracking. The integration with Fitbit's ecosystem enhances fitness tracking, making it a solid choice for health-conscious users. Battery Life Battery life has improved, with many users noting that it easily lasts a full day with regular use. Fast charging is also a plus, allowing for quick top-ups during the day. Software Running on Wear OS, the Pixel Watch 3 offers a clean and intuitive interface. It seamlessly integrates with Google services, including Assistant, Maps, and Calendar. Regular updates from Google are expected to keep the software fresh. Connectivity The watch features both Wi-Fi and cellular options, providing flexibility for users who want to stay connected without their phone. Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, making it easy to pair with other devices. Downsides Some users have pointed out that while the health features are robust, they can feel overwhelming for those new to fitness tracking. Additionally, while battery life is better, it still may not meet the needs of heavy users who track multiple activities throughout the day. Conclusion Overall, the Pixel Watch 3 is a strong contender in the smartwatch market, especially for those invested in the Google ecosystem. Its combination of design, performance, and health features make it an attractive option, though some may find it slightly complex if they’re new to smartwatch technology.

I usually just use a health tracker smart watch. I was coming from Amazfit T-Rex 2 which did just fine. I always loved the design of the Pixel Watch so I finally decided to make the dive and purchase one. It's a great watch and well worth the price. I thought battery life would be an issue but it charges so quickly it's pretty much a non-issue. The band is one of the most comfortable I've worn and fits just right.Highly recommend it.

After 4 weeks I am very pleased with this watch. The battery is long lasting. I can easily go 2-3 days before charging and I keep the display on the brightest setting. This connects and stays connected to my Pixel 6a phone perfectly. I had a Fitbit Versa 3 before this watch and connectivity was not consistent and problematic. I love all of the features on this watch. I bought an 'excellent' open-box product from Best Buy at a great price. I would gladly buy this watch again and strongly recommend it.
